Summary 

The NHIS is a cross-sectional household interview survey that is fielded continuously throughout the year. A core questionnaire collected data on topics such as injuries, diseases, conditions, disability, limitation of activity, doctor visits, hospitalization, and demographic information such as housing, family composition, income, etc. Supplement sections for the 1995 NHIS included a wide variety of topics, including a Phase 1 supplement on disability for the National Health Interview Survey on Disability, as well as sections on immunizations, family resources, health insurance, and knowledge of HIV/AIDS. The 1995-1997 Disability Followback Survey (part of Phase 2 of the NHIS-D) was based on responses to the 1995 NHIS.
